Preparing Your Home for a New Furnace

A little preparation goes a long way in ensuring your furnace installation day runs smoothly and efficiently. Understanding these steps will help you feel confident and prepared for your heating system upgrade.

Before Installation Day: Essential Pre-Checks

To ensure our expert technicians can perform your furnace installation seamlessly, we recommend these simple actions:

• Clear the Area: Ensure the space around your existing furnace and the proposed installation area is clear of clutter, furniture, or personal belongings. This provides our team with ample room to work safely and efficiently.
• Accessibility: Confirm that all access points to your furnace (e.g., basement, utility closet, crawl space) are unobstructed.
• Pet Safety: For the safety and comfort of your pets and our technicians, please secure any animals in a separate area of your home on installation day.
• Pathway Clearance: Clear a path from your home's entrance to the furnace location to allow easy movement of equipment and the new furnace unit.
• Power and Water Access: Our team may need access to your home's power outlets and potentially a water source during the installation.
• Ask Questions: If you have any specific concerns or questions about preparation, don't hesitate to contact our team in advance. We're here to help!

Selecting the Right Furnace for Your Needs

Choosing a new furnace is a significant decision. Our knowledgeable comfort advisors will help you navigate options like:

• Efficiency Ratings (AFUE): Understanding how higher AFUE ratings can lead to substantial energy savings on your utility bills.
• Furnace Type: Exploring options such as natural gas furnaces, electric furnaces, or even integrated heat pump systems that work with a furnace.
• Sizing Your System: Ensuring your new heating system is perfectly sized for your Lower Mainland home for optimal performance and comfort.
• Smart Thermostat Integration: Discovering how modern thermostats can enhance control, efficiency, and convenience.
